Vancouver Aquarium



The Vancouver Aquarium is one of North America's largest marine and science centers and the most visited Canadian attraction west of Toronto's CN Tower. Located in Stanley Park, the aquarium is home to more than 600 species including sharks, dolphins, beluga whales, frogs, sea otters, jellyfish, and arctic char. One of the highlights of a visit to the aquarium is to attend one of the the dolphin and beluga whale shows, which are offered multiple times throughout the day.

Not all of the residents of the aquarium are Canadian. There are also a number of species that hail from warmer climates like the Amazon, including giant turtles, birds, a lazy sloth, and jellyfish.
